Preparations

Finally I have sent out invitations to Kyra's birthday to my close colleagues and friends. I am not inviting everyone I know as I wish to keep it personal and share the momentus event with people I can really connect with. Besides, I haven't counted hubby's friends as well as the relatives my parents and parents-in law are going to invite, so I figure the number can get quite big. I just hope the guests don't come around the same time, or else I will have trouble entertaining all of them at the same time. When that happens, I will just have to rely on Kyle to dance, hehe. He is quite a born entertainer.

Last Monday, on Children's Day, I took a day off to go JB with hubby. Managed to get a baju kurung for Kyle, in white, yay! It is so hard to get one in white, probably because white and kids do not go well together. But this year, our theme is black and white. So I desperately need to get the white set for him to match all our outfits. Kyra won't be in traditional wear this year, as she is far too small, and I worry that she will get hot and flustered. Believe me, it's an ugly sight and sound when that happens. So she will still be dressed in her gowns and light clothings. I have no idea how I am going to manage with my kebayas, heels and two screaming kids. I just hope by the end of the day's visiting, I do not look like a psycho! But no doubt I am still looking forward to Hari Raya! I can't wait for my bajus to be ready!!

Also bought bottled drinks and snacks to stock up for Hari Raya. I also rebonded my hair, cheap cheap, only about S$80. Hubby waited for about 3 hrs for my hair to get done, so sweet right? This is not the first time. A few years back, when I permed my hair, he waited for me for 5 hrs! And he even bought me food and drinks :) I love u bie.

I hope to go to Concourse this weekend to get some party ideas for the birthday, probably getting some goodie packs for the kids as well as some birthday decorations.

On a more solemn note, my granny's 1st year death anniversary will be held on 21st October, a day after Kyra's birthday at Auntie June's house. I remember last year she died on the morning I was supposed to bring home Kyra from the hospital. I just gave birth a fews days earlier. She left not able to see her great-granddaughter. I miss you nenek, always have and always will.
